Converse Nails
                Hello! Welcome back!!! As all of you know, during springtime the weather starts to change and it gets a little warmer outside. Many people especially pre-teens and teenagers like wearing Converse shoes  for the trend. Today we will be learning to create a Converse shoe design. So let's get started!
     Materials

  • clear polish
  • black polish
  • white polish
  • silver polish
  • a dotting tool
  • white striper
  • black striper
Steps to Making This Design

  1. First, apply a clear polish to protect your natural nail.
  2. Secondly, paint your nails two coats of black polish.
  3. Then, swipe two coats of a white polish across the tip of your nail using a white striper.
  4. Next, use a silver polish and a dotting tool to create six small dots. Paint three dots on the right side of your nail and three dots on the left side of your nail.
  5. After you are done, use a white striper to create the laces of the shoes with a straight line to connect the pair of the first set of dots from the bottom of your nail. Then, create a, "x," by connecting the second set of dots from the middle part of your nail, and connect both dots diagonally. Now do the same step over  again  by using the top set of dots. Finally, connect the first set of the dots at the top of your nail with a straight line.
  6. Then, use the dotting tool to drop a small blob of black polish into every single silver dot.
  7. Our second to last step is to create a black and thin curved line across the white tip using a black striper. 
  8. Finally, apply a clear coat to protect your design, and to smoothen out the surface of your nail.
                 This extra step that I am going to show you is optional. If you want to paint this Converse shoe design on all your nails that will also be fine.
    Extra Step for Other Nails

  1. First, apply a solid base coat to protect your nails.
  2. Secondly, paint a white tip across the tip of your nail using a white striper.
  3. Then, using a black striper, paint a thin black line under the white tip.
  4. Finally, apply a clear coat to protect your design, and to smoothen out the surface of your nails.
                 And here you are done with a cute and easy design on your nail. Now whenever you wear your Converse shoes you can paint your nails the night before to match your outfit. These nails can be done anytime for a cute spring trend of nails. If you like this design please comment in the box below for any suggested design that you would like me to do for you. Well now I have to go. See you next time!!! TOODLES!!!
